The federal university which linked together university colleges in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from 1963–70 was posited on the need to economize on scarce resources. Accordingly, the developmental principles adopted emphasized phased expansion and non-duplication of expensive faculties within a given period. However, the University administration proved too weak to resist the centrifugal forces of national ambition in each territory, and in the ensuing process of disintegration the expansion...

Ethnic stereotyping by Ethiopian students of four important ethnolinguistic groups (the Amhara, Tigre, Galla, and Gurage) was investigated. The method used was a modification of the Katz and Braly technique for assessing generality of stereotypes. The tendency to stereotype both one's own and other groups was quite marked, and there was considerable overlap between in-group and out-group description. Where there were discrepancies, the in-group evaluation was more positive and the out-group...

The only official United States contact with the liberation movements of Southern Africa has been the educational programmes administered by the African–American Institute under contract to the U.S. Government. In addition to providing education and scholarships to refugee students in Africa, the A.A.I. has since 1962 administered the Southern African Student Program (S.A.S.P.) for refugees in the United States at the college and graduate levels.

Urinary excretion of d-xylose during a 5-hr period after 25 g of the sugar was given orally has been estimated in 70 Zambian African men. Seventeen had pulmonary tuberculosis and sixteen had an acute bacterial infection. Six healthy Englishmen were also studied. The mean excretion of xylose in the tuberculosis (P< 0.001) and acute infection (P< 0.05) groups was significantly lower than that in Zambian patients without bacterial infections. Both groups with infections had a significantly...

Summary Bouldery outcrops of coarse-grained olivine-free lava, containing abundant orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, mostly in glomerophyric aggregates, occur over a small area among the Tertiary to Recent volcanics of the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. This is the only rock of tholeiitic affinity in an otherwise completely alkaline volcanic province. Petrographically it does not greatly resemble tholeiitic occurrences reported from such provinces elsewhere, but that is believed to be due more to a...

An outline is given of the ecology of the Virunga volcanoes, comprising the Volcano National Park, Rwanda. This is the only known habitat of the Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla beringei). The problem of settlement and cattle grazing is discussed, and the importance of the area as a water catchment zone is stressed.

Dedicated to the memory of Wm. F. Edgerton, revered teacher and friend This paper was presented as one of four contributions to a panel discussion on the topic Aspects of Education in the Ancient Near East during the meeting of the AOS held at Baltimore in 1970. The requirements of a highly complex governmental administration in Egypt led to the development in the mid-third millennium of methods of training youths as scribes to enter the civil service. In addition to the much later Greek...

Summary Tuffs, trachybasalts, aegirine–augite trachytes and aegirine–augite phonolitic trachytes occur on the continental shelf at the southern tip of Africa. They have been radiometrically dated at 58(±2.4) million years (Palaeocene), and together with other alkali-rich basic intrusions onshore form the Alphard Tertiary Igneous Province. Both onshore and offshore sites of intrusion appear to be strongly tectonically controlled.
